Spelt
Better tolerated than
any other grain. High in carbohydrates,
spelt contains
more crude fiber and more
protein than wheat, including
all eight essential amino acids
that are needed in the
daily diet to insure proper cell
maintenance. The fiber in
spelt helps lower cholesterol,
and plays a role in helping
blood to clot. High in B vitamins.
It’s the only grain containing
mucopolysaccharides.
Occasionally referred
to as “The Rice of Europe.”
Over 5,000 years old,
spelt is once again resuming
a place of prominence among
preferred grains. Particularly
attractive to the wheat sensitive,
spelt is easily substituted
for wheat in recipes, and offers
a subtle, nutty flavor that
is welcomed by all.
